(there are other nav(some number).htm's, but if one gets fixed, they'll all get fixed.)

the problem is in the onload statement in nav2.htm --- it works *beautifully* with Netscape (3.04) -- but in IE (3.02) it craps out saying "in frame nav2 'main' is not an object"

now, I *have* to have this thing working perfectly with both Netscape & IE - and preferably with versions 3.x & 4.x of both.

I do *not* want some huge long javascript thing that's going to take up a jillion lines of code (besides the fact that I don't know javascript, so it would be rather difficult for me to decipher your instructions...)

Soo... can anyone fix my onload statement so that it works for both browsers?

well... this answer seems so simple that it's hardly worth 200 points ;-))
I'm well ahead of the 24h deadline though ;-) (and I deserve the points for creating the files and installing IE3 just to check my answer *g*)

Here we go:
I am actually surprised that this works in Netscape! I have never seen this syntax before.
*** Instead of parent.frames.main you have to say parent.main ***

frames is normally an array that can be indexed by frames[0] or frames["name"]. Obviously Netscape is very forgiving and lets you access it as frames.name although it doesn't make so much sense ;-)
See? It's not jillions of lines, it actually makes it shorter! *g* Some other thing you can do to make it shorter is to eliminate the href - it is the default property of location. Your onload could therefore be: "top.main.location='starting.html'"

Good luck with your site! Let me know if there are still problems with this (shouldn't ;-), I'll answer in 8 hours (after sleeping ;-)

I swear to you.. I clicked on the "increase points to" and entered 200 in the box... somehow tho, it only awarded the original 100 pts for your answer (I still have 100 pts left, so I know it's not that I ran out of points) .. anyway, I've already left a note with customer service - if they don't fix this within the next day or so ... hmmm.. I guess I could always ask another question in here (like.. uhhhh.... "what does html stand for?" or something else really lame) and give you the other 100 pts for that one... I'm really sorry for the mixup, and I don't want you to think that I'm welshing on the deal... the answer is still worth 200 pts to me :)

Can Concerto Cloud Services help you focus on evolving your application offerings, while delivering the best cloud experience to your customers? From DevOps to revenue models and customer support, the answer is yes!

Isn't that green disgusting?!? (it matches the logo tho, so what can I do? I'm only writing the manual :)

you want content, huh? leave me your email address, and as soon as we release this software, I'll drop you a line so you can grab a copy... and see all the wonderful content that you helped make possible :)

The site looks like a chat, so I guess the URL won't be a big secret? *g* Just post it here and I'll get an e-mail - I don't really want to post my address here. Maybe I'll take a look at the chat and find you? (same login?) Although it would of course be a competitor for a chat I'm currently developing a really really nifty JavaScript interface for *g* (500+ lines of code!) - maybe I can find some new ideas ;-)

About the green: well... I was trying to be diplomatic ;-)
About the points: whatever... as much as I'd like to have the points because they would finally put me into the toplist for this area, don't worry about it. I appreciate the effort! If customer service fixes it, great, if they don't, you can give me the exclusive rights to answer your next JavaScript-question ;-) As long as it is JS and there is an answer, I'll find it *g*

??? (ran out of good closing lines *g*) - have fun! Don't work too much! It's Sunday! (well.. as long as you're west of India :)

Wow, you're smart... yes, it has to do with chat stuffies... and no, the site won't be a secret after we release (hopefully tomorrow :) ... so keep the "notify me when updated" on this question, and as soon as we release, I'll come back and post the url for ya (I'd do it now, except you went and told me that you're developing some competition, so now you're just gonna hafta wait the same as all our other competition to see it :)

(and no, *I'm* not programming it... I just test it and write the docs and will be doing tech support for it... so yes, once released and all, you'll be able to find me as "Nnickee" :)

customer service hasn't fixed the points thingy yet.... then again, it's only *barely* Monday now... I'll give 'em until midnight tonight, and if it still isn't fixed, I'll come back with another question for ya...
